Hi David,
what I’m trying to achive maybe is not a look or maybe it is. If I conform on cinema tools to 23.98 everything will strech (4% slower I think) and pitch would not work for me since this is a music concert video.
Now, I been cracking my head looking how can I achive this, so I made a test since I need to deliver a SD NTSC 29.97 ASAP. I edited everything on native 25 ProRes and exported from FCP with current settings on timeline, then I went and conformed the exported file on cinematools to 23.98. Went back to FCP, made a new sequence 720×480 29.97 and then I placed the conformed file and speed it up to 104.15% if I’m right, and that solved the pitch issue. Exported again
and in compressor I applied the desired compression for delivery.
It worked but I know this is not the best way of doing it. I also need to deliver
for web in 720p HD and make another one 1080p that for those I would
need to have them progressive. As you see I need a variety of delivery formats.
Thanks and hope you can help.

Thanks for helping me out.

I have the drives connected to my computer via eSata. I have a PCI card installed to handle 4 sata drives. I only use g-tech drives but I\’ve been wanting to upgrade to something that has fibre channel capabilities but at the same time affordable. I know their not cheap though. I want to know what is the best setup I can make with what I do. The last project that I did was editing a 2 hour concert multicam on HDCAM of course I didn\’t had any issues with that one since I made an offline multicam and at the end batch capture on HD for output to tape. Now I\’m working on short films shoot on Varicams DVCPro 720p but I think I don\’t need to do an offline since there are not many angles involved. What do you think?
